Boys Have Bangs Too

Dear Ms. Lee,

I am an admirer of your hair clips. My sister owns several and I think she looks beautiful with them. When she shares and puts one on me, I think I look quite dashing. They are the perfect clip for straight and thin hair such as mine and my sister's. I am writing, however, to suggest that your selection of Kiddie Clips is very limited.

The current collection perpetuates strict societal gender roles by containing design intended only for girls. After all, there are many young boys in the world who would like to share in the pleasantries of putting accessories in their hair (not to mention the obvious advantages of having a hair clip when one is short on paper clips). Why should little girls (and older sisters in particular) have all the fun and convenience?

Might I suggest a collection of hair clips that would appeal to your more masculine customers; perhaps designs with favorite male characters or themes such as pirates, power rangers, or skulls? Imagine the possibilities!

Thank you for your time and understanding.

Sincerely,

Mr. S. Pea

ROFLMAO! That cracked me up!!! As my belly recovers from that laughter, let me see what my company associates think about this...

Dear Mr. S. Pea:
We appreciate your constructive comments about our products. We strive to satisfy ALL customers, male and female, and hope to soon broaden our selection of accessories. Perhaps a complimentary pair of camouflage hair clips will help you keep this matter under wraps? Until then, we do think that the blue and white polka dot pattern shown in the photo is quite handsome with that similarly toned jacket of yours. At least your sister has good fashion sense!

Regards,
KiddieClips

A certain Ms. L. Nabi would also love pirate theme clips. Please keep us updated on any developments on this matter.

Mr. S. Pea does look dashing in blue-white-polka-dotties, however.

So adorable! My son loved getting the attention from his older sister and female cousin when they would put hairclips and style his hair. Rock on Sweet Pea.
